How
do you know if you have flu or cold symptoms? Take your temperature,
say many experts. Whether it's seasonal or swine influenza, the symptoms
often mimic cold symptoms with nasal congestion, cough, aches, and
malaise. But a common cold rarely has symptoms of fever above 101
degrees F. With flu symptoms, you will probably have a fever initially
with the flu virus and you will feel miserable. Body and muscle aches
are also more common with the flu. This table can help determine if you
have cold or flu symptoms.

Wash
your hands often; avoid close contact with anyone who has flu symptoms;
get the annual flu vaccine, which protects against the H1N1 swine flu
and two other flu strains for the 2010-2011 flu season.
